For the first time this season, Coach Byron Scott had good things to say about a Chris Childs' performance, reports the Star Ledger. Coach Scott said Childs will get more playing time as a result of his solid if not spectacular performance on Friday.

It was believed that Childs might see some extended minutes with the injury to Jason Kidd, but he played just five minutes Friday night, the Bergen Record reports. After getting yanked, he muttered an obscenity as he headed for the bench.

Childs will finally get the opportunity to do the job he was signed to do - backup Jason Kidd. The Star Ledger reports that Childs will get his first crack at the backup point guard position on Friday night.
